Lincoln Arms Public House Goldington

Goldington Hall June 2017

The Lincoln Arms Public House: Goldington Hall, Church Lane

Goldington Hall was acquired by Bedford Borough Council after World War Two. In 1972 the borough sold the Hall to brewers Bass Charrington, which undertook substantial alterations, opening the property as The Falstaff Public House in October that year. It was later renamed the Lincoln Arms.

In 2006 plans were prepared to convert the former pub into fourteen flats with other buildings in the grounds. On 23rd January 2008, however, a serious fire broke out. A preservation trust then rebuilt and restored the building and in 2014 was for sale, now [2017] being a private house.
